<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2026 Rankings Update saw 13 names get added to our list, in this article we'll break down four of the top new names added to our list this week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1966248"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68093d521fc4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Usually bigs take longer to hit their full potential than guards and Sickmiller is not different, but I did like a lot of the skills he showed me with his Midwest Basketball Club squad. Sickmiller protected the rim, crashed the offensive glass and competed on both ends of the court. As a scorer Sickmiller had a nice lefty finish and extended for a finish as well past a shot contest. With how many small college programs desperately need size, Sickmiller should be a pretty attractive option this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2726600"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68093d521fcb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another forward but this time more of a ready made product, King was one of the best players in his conference for a Hamilton Township squad that had one of their best seasons in recent memory last year. A strong lefty forward who knocks down shots and is physical in the paint, that's a great starting point for a small college prospect standing at 6'4. With King and [player_tooltip player_id='2726599' first='Jovon' last='McBride'] back next season, expectations should be high once again for Hamilton Township. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2703764"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68093d521fcfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player I caught on the Prep Hoops Circuit early in April, Djigo has impressive physical attributes and occasionally wows you with a big time block or slam dunk. Those flashes only come once in a while but when they do, Djigo is loud with his impact. If Djigo can put the pieces together this summer, he could be a valuable piece for a Lutheran West squad that should be a powerhouse once again in northeast Ohio after three consecutive strong seasons for Jordan Duke and company. An under the radar big to watch in the Cleveland area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2818365"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68093d521fd46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I caught Davis at the state title game as he was the sidekick to Ohio's all-time leading scorer last season. A strong forward who got a lot of opportunities due to defenses keying in on taking away their leading scorer, Davis has a strong frame and has proven himself capable of scoring on the interior. I'll be curious how Davis looks as the main man as a senior but his physical profile suggests he'll get some solid Division III interest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
